The three Tests against South Africa in October and two
against Bangladesh will be part of the inaugural World Test Championship that
begins after the 2019 World Cup.

The season will begin with South Africa arriving for three
T20s and as many Tests starting September 15.

What is noticeable in the entire schedule is India will not
be playing a full-series comprising Tests, T20s and ODIs in one go. And that
means that South Africa will return to play three ODIs in March 2020.

The series against Bangladesh will begin with the first T20 in
Delhi. The two Tests will be played in Indore (November 14-18) and Kolkata
(November 22-26).

Bangladesh had toured India for the first time in 2017 when
they played a one-off Test in Hyderabad. They will also be one of the six sides
India will play in the nine-team World Test Championship. The ICC has already
made it clear that India and Pakistan will not be facing each other in the
first cycle, unless they both make the final.

After Bangladesh’s departure in the last week of November,
India will face the West Indies in three T20s and as many ODIs starting
December 6. The following month will see Zimbabwe touring India for three T20s
between January 5-10.

Four days later, India play Australia in the first ODI of
the three-match series. The BCCI and Cricket Australia had serious differences
over the scheduling of the series but the Indian cricket board eventually had
its way.

The home season will conclude in March with South Africa’s
ODI tour of India.
